West Ham striker Andy Carroll has lambasted referee Jonathan Moss for an unacceptable performance, even accusing the official of trying to even things up by awarding Leicester a stoppage-time penalty.

Much of the focus during a thrilling if fractious contest was on the officials, with several penalty appeals overlooked before goalscorer Jamie Vardy received a second yellow card having been adjudged to dive in the 56th minute.

Anger grew when referee Moss decided to punish Wes Morgan's pressure on Winston Reid, allowing substitute Carroll to strike home a spot-kick followed up minutes later by a wonderful Aaron Cresswell goal.

However, the match would end 2-2 thanks to a last-gasp Leonardo Ulloa penalty awarded after Jeffrey Schlupp went down under pressure from Carroll - something which infuriated the Hammers striker.
